    Prepare to drown in a sea of new details about Scattered Entertainment’s The Drowning

    By

    Generally speaking, FPS games on smartphones and tablets leave a lot to be desired. Much of the aiming precision and ease of movement capable on a physical controller gets lost in the shuffle, leaving the player with a virtual control scheme that's passable at best. With The Drowning, Scattered Entertainment is hoping to change that. A lofty goal, no doubt, but having had a chance to both see the game in action (video enclosed!) and speak with studio head Ben Cousins about it, I'm inclined to believe they just might pull it off.

    DeNA, as it seems, is one of the more restless mobile juggernauts out there. Not content to team up with Disney and call it a day, they've recently announced a new partnership with Hasbro. The two companies will be working together to bring several Transformers titles to the Mobage network for iOS and Android  -- the first of which is slated to arrive later this year.

But that success hasn't left him feeling complacent, and today he posed a very ambitious question to developers in audience at GamesBeat: "Are there opportunities to redefine what top grossing actually means?"

    Monday Morning QB: The Curious Case of Zynga’s IPO

    By

    After months of hype and speculation, Zynga officially went public last Friday with a most curious offering. Zynga raised $1 billion in one day, for the biggest tech IPO in the US since Google raised $1.9 billion in 2004. Zynga started as a company 4 years ago and now has a valuation of $8.9 billion (for perspective, Electronic Arts is valued at $6.9 billion). That's the good news. The bad news is that Zynga priced its IPO at $10/share and ended the day at $9.50/share in what can best be described as a lackluster opening day. Which begs the question -- what happened on the road to IPOville?
